SnapShot Online Manual

Using SnapShot:

Snap Shot is a Windows utility which captures screen or window images and automatically saves them to a file.  It works in a multi-monitor environment and supports DirectDraw and Direct3D as well as secondary 3D graphics card screen captures.

Images are captured by hitting a hot key combination.  These hot keys are defined in the Snap Shot Settings window.  The Settings window can be accessed from the Snap Shot icon in the Windows Task Bar tray.

The saved image captures are stored in a file with an automatic numbering sequence.  The file naming and the location of where the images are saved can be changed in the Settings window.
